Rebecca De Winter – Return Of The Nord

She’s back. Rebecca De Winter, a new British music talent who’s destined soon to break through to the mainstream, dropped us an email to let us know about her brand new single, “Higher Skies’ (Sad Songs)”. We highlighted Rebecca’s debut single and video a few months ago here at DV Mag after she got in touch initially to thank DV247 for some great service when supplying her ‘lovely’ new Nord Clavia Piano.

Taken from her debut (and as yet I believe, criminally un-signed) album, this new song is as enchanting as her first offering. The sensory experience of Rebecca De Winter is akin to opening an old wardrobe door and stepping into a fairytale land of almost childlike, certainly retrospective, fantasy. And not only is Rebecca herself back on our radar, so is her Nord Piano.

In her previous single, she played a creaky old Steinway, reserving the new Nord for her live stage performances. But this time, the red sleek lines of the Clavia are front and forward as we check the video out to see this talented new star, delicately tinkling the ivories.

I have no doubt that Rebecca will indeed cross over to national and international success, perhaps maybe following her appearance on a forthcoming Jools Holland show – is someone at his office paying attention?! For now though and via the video below, I’ll leave you to enjoy yet again this wonderfully gifted singer/song-writer and, please, do keep an eye and ear out for all she produces via the Rebecca De Winter reverbnation page.
